Lots of fun! art was really nice.

One of the nicest pixel art games i've played in this LD so far. Level 1 was really nice. Starting Level two things got REALLY slow and it felt somehow not right. Otherwise a really good game.

Really cool. In the second part and after that the speed slows down drastically. Fun game. I agree with above comment, art was great.

Very polished entry! Really like the transition effects and the pixel art. The music also is really nice! The slo-mo part was a bit too slow for my taste, it took forever to traverse the level. I also didn't know what my goal was. Overall very nice entry!

Sorry to hear about the slow motion. I think it's a bug. If you're playing on mac then that might be it, but I tested it quite a lot on windows and it didn't do that with me. :( I'll look into a fix now.

Art was awesome, pretty good and polished. Plenty of levels. Overall pretty good, except I ran into a bug originally where the whole game after the first level was extremely slow. Not super fun, a bit hard and the controls were very fast — even for me. Playing on windows.

alex-davies 2018-12-03 20:35

Huh, well I guess I'll just scrap the slow motion. Honestly got no clue why it's happening. Oh well, it's not a big deal.

alex-davies 2018-12-03 20:51

Hopefully it's fixed now

Overall very nice game, but I also got bug with slow motion. I think it happened when I got killed during sacrifice animation but it still went to next level and then everything was in slow motion.

alex-davies 2018-12-04 18:10

Weird. I've tried to fix again. If it happens again then I'm pretty sure it's a bug with Unity, because I've no longer got any code changing the speed.

alex-davies 2018-12-04 18:29

I think it's fixed. Just had a friend who was having problems with it before play it and it worked, so it should now be fixed.

The game instantly closes for me after launching, on Windows :(

alex-davies 2018-12-04 19:51

weird, i'll take a look

alex-davies 2018-12-04 19:53

sorry, it's not happening to me, so i can't tell what's causing it

Great little game! Love the minimalist art. It's annoying that when you die the level doesn't restart automatically.

anthony-dunlap 2018-12-04 20:02

well done, graphics, music, and gameplay are all nice. Doesn't make much sense to avoid hazards just to die at the end of the level, but still a good game!

etdofresh 2018-12-04 20:05

Great fun! Crazy hilarious deaths.... I totally think if I die and make it to the alter, it should totally count!! :) Untitled.png

Most of the comments have covered most of what I would have said already. The game has some great effects and I really liked it on the whole.

The one quirk that I didn't like as much was the camera movement. When I stopped moving the camera seemed to overshoot my character's position and then bounce back. After a while, it made me feel a bit motion sick.

This is a pretty good platformer, and there are plenty of levels, but I would have liked to see a game that incorporates the theme as a gameplay mechanic, rather than a unique end level animation.

kroute 2018-12-04 20:25

A really cool game! I particularly liked the music. I also found that the design of the levels was well done. But the last Chtulu level is too difficult in my opinion.

xcvzxc 2018-12-04 20:28

Gameplay is very basic for platformer but, at least the theme is in the plot. One of not many games I actually finished. I like details like transitions between levels , some sinus animations and sound effects. This game just feels very polished. PS jump sounds like I have tic-tac box in my pocket, or trying to walk in some swamp I don't know :P

finn-truman 2018-12-04 20:58

For the record: I beat the game.

The game was a functional and nice looking platformer. I was having fun up until the last two levels. The jumping feels a little unresponsive, and that really made the penultimate level hard and in a frustrating way, because of the twitch movements and sudden jumps you need to make. The final level was too RNG. A boss fight in a platformer is cool, but the tentacles were too random. The level is tricky enough with the pre-placed obstacles. Throwing in RNG obstacles literally means you can't be sure if a level can be won without a good seed. But goddamn, is it pretty!

I'm also not rating audio as highly as I would like because I know the knife sound effect is from somewhere else. I've heard it in Poacher.

alex-davies 2018-12-04 21:12

No, i recorded it by scraping two knives together then heavily editing it to boost the treble. Thanks for the advice though. I guess I got quite good at the game from testing it so much, so I made it a bit too hard :P

shahroz-khan 2018-12-04 23:18

Liked the satisfying sounds with the clean movement.

thomas-bringer 2018-12-12 22:53

Really nice game! A bit hard but challenging (the boss level was too hard for me however). Amazing artstyle and audio. Congrats! :D
